Sigh. If only these had 16:10 or 3:2 displays. They would be perfect. So close though. I'll still be considering n AMD X13 if reviews are good, especially if it runs at 25W and can feed the iGPU well.

Btw, "DDR4x"? Do they mean LPDDR4X? 'Cause there's either DDR4or LPDDR4x, there's no such thing as "DDR4x".


And yes, there's nothing stopping an AMD device from having Thunderbolt, it's an open standard now, and the controllers are sold to anyone. They just need to pay Intel to certify the PC when the design is done.

The 4000-series APUs are 3rd gen Zen APUs; there were never 1000-series APUs. As they are launched out of sync APUs are named one generation ahead of CPUs.

I feel exactly the same way!! For me, I am waiting for an X1 Carbon with a 16:10 or 3:2 display, Thunderbolt 3, and an AMD APU with a 25W configuration. With Dell and LG going for 16:10 and Microsoft and Huawei going 3:2, I really hope it's just a matter of time before Lenovo gives us a good business notebook with a good business aspect ratio. I can wait another year and a half for maybe a Navi based APU but I want it now! :)

If only they had touchpad buttons. But they only have trackpoint buttons.

The specs are odd. The CPU lists Ryzen gen 3 and thunderbolt for the AMD laptop.

Ryzen 4800U and co. are 3rd Gen Ryzen products according to AMD, and it makes sense given they are based on the same technology as the 3rd Gen Ryzen desktop processors (Ryzen 3500 and up).

I'm surprised about Thunderbolt support as well but with some AM4 desktop mainboards it has been possible for a while. To my knowledge there was never a real technological hurdle.
